Installing non-ports software into /usr/local
Hi I am having an issue with mutt 1.5.21. I have set up different colour schemes, etc. as people do. Anyway, I reinstalled it 2 days ago using the ports system, because I wanted to link mutt to the ncurses port rather than the system ncurses installation. After soing non of my colours show, only those that are set from within my terminal emulator which is urxvt. Initially, I had a problem during make(1) which related to the iconv library. I have iconv set as an option in my kernel configuration. the error suggested something about using libiconv instead. Anyway, I managed to overcome that and build it and istall it again but without colour. I'm wondering if I could/should build it my self from source and install it into /usr/local to see if that makes any difference. Would doing that cause problems for the ports system? Any comments and advice are welcome. Best wishes, Jamie ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Problems submitting patch containing UTF-8 characters
On Sun, 30 Sep 2012 05:08:03 +0200 Michael Gmelin free...@grem.de wrote: Hi, I recently ran into a problem submitting a PR containing UTF-8 characters, they ended up garbled, so the maintainer couldn't apply the patch cleanly. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171645 The characters included were 0xe4 0xb8 0xad and 0xe5 0x9b 0xbd (two three byte characters). The code affected is about testing utf-8, so the characters are required. And even if not, patching them away would require stating them as part of the patch. The original e-mail was created using porttools and therefore had no character set specification, which usually shouldn't be a problem. The patch was just inline as part of the body. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171645getpatch=1 The character sequence had been recoded to 0xc3 0xa4 0xc2 0xb8 0xc2 0xad 0xc3 0xa5 0xc2 0x9b 0xc2 0xbd It seems like it had been interpreted as latin1 on receipt and then reencoded as utf-8: 0xe4 = 0xc3 0xa4 0xb8 = 0xc2 0xb8 0xad = 0xc2 0xad 0xe5 = 0xc3 0xa5 0x9b = 0xc2 0x9b 0xbd = 0xc2 0xbd Which is obviously not what should happen. The recipient shouldn't make any assumptions about the character set used. The next attempt was sending the patch as a bug-followup through a graphical MUA. The patch was attached and had been encoded as quoted-printable (no specific charset specification): +-configPath =3D u./config/=E4=B8=AD=E5=9B=BD_client.config ++configPath =3D u./config/=E4=B8=AD=E5=9B=BD_client.config.encode(utf-8=) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171645getpatch=2 Unfortunately the results are the same. I did not try forcing a charset by manually modifying the email (not sure if this will work, I'm willing to test, but I don't want to further litter that PR). At this point I figured, that sending the patch in gzipped format might help. Said and done, the patch shows up as base64 in the PR. When copy and pasting and decoding the base64 text, the resulting .gz can be decompressed correctly and the content is what I expected. When clicking the download link though: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171645getpatch=3 The resulting .gz file has the correct file size, but is corrupted. Checking it using the hex editor it looks like it has been reencoded as utf-8 (and then truncated at the expected file size): Hex of the original file (first 16 bytes): 1f 8b 08 08 ad 79 65 50 00 03 70 79 32 37 2d 49 Hex of the file downloaded by using the link: 1f c2 8b 08 08 c2 ad 79 65 50 00 03 70 79 32 37 As you can see, all non 7bit characters have been utf-8 encoded, which is pretty suboptimal in a binary file. 0x8b = 0xc2 0x8b 0xad = 0xc2 0xad ... As a result the truncated and utf-8 encoded gzip file cannot be decompressed. I'm relatively certain that this has worked at some point in the past. Ideas anyone?

GNATS, unfortunately, records no information about character encoding. To make matters worse, it actually removes many headers from e-mail replies, meaning query-pr.cgi can usually only work on guesses and assumptions. Headers are however preserved inside MIME parts, and if there are any of these headers, they are used; but in this case your MUA hasn't included encoding information here. Shaun -- Shaun Amott // PGP: 0x6B387A9A A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. - Ralph Waldo Emerson The question remains though, why is it trying to re-encode characters as UTF8 when it just received what should be 8bit ASCII to it (passing it through transparently should work)? Especially in case of a binary attachment (which it shows correctly in base64 encoded form but tries to UTF-8 encode on download).

I replied to hrs@ and told him I would be happy to help, but have no feedback yet. Regarding the mirror of versionned distfiles, I have everything to set it up I think, and I just have to take some time to hack something that do the right thing and use it in my ports. However, since there are some boring flaws in the updating infrastructure, I postponed this, thinking that an answer from hrs@ would have lead to working on funnier things (with a better infrastructure). While I have no news, I may however setup the repository, it won't hurt I guess.
